Thats an exceptionally cool idea! Kudos.
While I can only speak for me (I have sufficent hardware) I guess most
cinelerra devs (and lumiera devs) don't need it. Unless I am wrong may I
suggest to extend this offer to Cinelerra users too? .. sometimes people
show up on IRC which have awfuly low end machines and want to use cinelerra.
Maybe this might initiate some hardware exchange, I would like it, going
to check my spare parts box too. We could setup an wiki page for
offered/needed hardware parts (limited to cinelerra/lumiera users and
devs). Things like harddisks, used DV cams, Firewire PCI card, CD/DVD
burners would be good candidates.
